Chapter 223 Emotional loss of control
She looked utterly bewildered, her right hand reaching out uncontrollably, trembling as she pointed at the old Taoist priest.
Her voice grew even sharper with shock: "You...you...what did you just say?"
When Leng Xiyue heard the old Taoist priest introduce himself, she didn't show much reaction on her face.
For him, the name "Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang" was completely unfamiliar; he had never heard of it before.
But when he saw Yun Dan trembling with nervousness, he couldn't help but feel confused.
Leng Xiyue immediately came to Lin Yundan's side and asked with concern, "Little girl, what's wrong?"
Yun Dan was filled with shock at the moment and had no mind to pay attention to Leng Xiyue.
He stared intently at the old Taoist priest and pressed him again, "You... what did you just say your name was?"
The old Taoist priest stopped laughing heartily and his expression became serious.
He gently stroked his beard and spoke slowly again: "This humble Taoist is Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang!"
Upon hearing the old Taoist's clear answer, Yun Dan was certain that she had not misheard.
Her voice trembled, and there was a hint of disbelief in it.
"You...you say you're Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang? But is that Zhang Junbao, born at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, who became a lay disciple of Jueyuan of Shaolin Temple at a young age, and later founded the Wudang Sect on Wudang Mountain?"
The old Taoist priest was taken aback when he heard the young girl's detailed description.
He never expected that this seemingly young girl, barely twenty years old, would know so much about his childhood.
After all, these events date back more than two hundred years.
This young girl is so young; it would be fine if she had only heard of my name.
How could he not be greatly shocked that the person knew so much about his childhood experience of joining the Shaolin Temple?
The old Taoist priest couldn't help but ask, "Oh, young lady, you're so young, yet you know about my childhood."
Could it be that this young lady has an ancestor who knows this humble Taoist priest?
Upon hearing Zhang Sanfeng's admission, Lin Yundan could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.
At this moment, she couldn't care about anything else.
As if driven by an invisible force, he instantly rushed towards Zhang Sanfeng's direction.
Although the distance between the two is only two or three zhang.
However, Yun Dan's speed was so fast that even Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but be secretly surprised: "Such speed!"
In the blink of an eye, Yun Dan leaped forward from two meters away from Zhang Sanfeng and hugged him tightly to the chest.
Zhang Sanfeng was taken aback by this sudden action.
He couldn't understand why the girl in front of him was crying so bitterly after hearing his name.
Lin Yundan hugged Zhang Sanfeng tightly, buried her face in his chest and cried loudly, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.
Leng Xiyue quickly came to their side, asking with a puzzled look, "Little girl, what's wrong with you? Could it be that this, uh... this Taoist priest is your relative?"
In fact, Leng Xiyue didn't know how to address Zhang Sanfeng, but when she heard him refer to himself as "this humble Taoist," she assumed he was a Taoist priest.
Zhang Sanfeng was even more confused when he heard Leng Xiyue's words, as he was clearly seeing this girl for the first time as well.
Zhang Sanfeng gently patted Lin Yundan's back and asked softly, "Miss, why are you crying so sadly?"
Yun Dan did not respond, but buried her head deeply in Zhang Sanfeng's chest, rubbing against him like a helpless child.
In fact, none of them knew that Yun Dan's solo journey to this world was not due to her inherently strong nature.
When she first possessed Lin Xiaoya's body, she was filled with fear and unease.
But things had come to this point, and she was all alone in a strange world. Even though she was filled with fear, she could only pretend to be strong on the surface.
Now I suddenly hear that there is someone from the same world.
Although the two lived in eras seven or eight hundred years apart.
But they were, after all, people from my original world.
At this moment, Yun Dan felt as if she had found an elder she could rely on, and no longer had to face all the choices and difficulties alone.
In the first few years, Yun Dan led a group of kids around carefree and reckless.
No matter what happened, the village elders always sheltered her from the wind and rain.
Later, when she arrived at the bottom of the Extreme Abyss Valley, she was accompanied by her elder, Leng Xiyue, which prevented her from losing her composure in this unfamiliar environment.
However, for Yun Dan, Leng Xiyue and the others were ultimately people of this world, and in essence, they did not come from the same world as her.
Suddenly, he heard that the old Taoist priest came from the same world as him.
Her long-suppressed loneliness erupted like a burst dam.
No matter how gently Leng Xiyue and Zhang Sanfeng tried to coax her, she just clung tightly to Zhang Sanfeng's chest, crying her heart out.
After a long while, her sobs gradually subsided.
It turned out that she had cried herself to sleep, and the tension in her heart had eased, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.
To be honest, she was really exhausted.
Despite her confident demeanor over the past decade or so, she has faced everything that has happened on her own.
But only she herself knows the hardships and exhaustion she endured.
Leng Xiyue watched as Yun Dan fell asleep peacefully in Zhang Sanfeng's arms, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Sanfeng, shaking her head helplessly.
Zhang Sanfeng also looked helpless.
Everything that happened to him after he arrived at the door was completely baffling to him.
I have absolutely no idea what happened.
Zhang Sanfeng thought Leng Xiyue was Yun Dan's elder, so he gently handed Yun Dan over to Leng Xiyue.
Leng Xiyue took Lin Yundan in her hands and carried her back to her room.
The layout of Yun Dan's room was roughly the same as the room Zhang Sanfeng had just been in.
However, her house had some fresh flowers planted in bamboo tubes, which added a touch of life and warmth to the simple room.
Leng Xiyue gently placed Yun Dan on the bed, letting her get a good night's sleep.
Then she looked up at Zhang Sanfeng and said, "Master, judging from the little girl's appearance, she must have some connection with you."
Let's let her sleep for a while, and then ask her properly why she did that when she wakes up.
How about this, shall we go back next door and have a proper chat?
Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said, "That's very good. I have many questions that I would like to ask you."
The two went to the next room, where simple tables and chairs were placed.
Leng Xiyue invited Zhang Sanfeng to sit down, then added a few pieces of charcoal to the stove to boil water.
She sat down opposite him, and Leng Xiyue put tea in the pan while gently fanning the charcoal in the stove with a fan.
The water boiled quickly, and Leng Xiyue brewed the tea and handed a cup to Zhang Sanfeng.
"Taoist Master, please."
Zhang Sanfeng said, "Please, layman."
They each drank a glass.
